BURNARD REIN, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JACOBHALTEMAN, OF SAME PLACE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 384,391, dated Tune1888- Applirntion filed June 22, 1887.

T0 aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, BURNARD REIN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Detroit, in the county of \Vayne and State of Michigan, haveinvented certain new and useful In1- provenients in Vapor-Stoves, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to new and useful improven'ients in vaporstoves;and the invention consists in the peculiar construction and arrangementof a lowdown swinging burner, all as more fully hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification,Figure l is a front elevation of a vaponstove to which myinvention isapplied. Fig. 2 isa cross-section thereof on the line a :0. Fig. 3 is aplan. Fig. 4 is a detached perspective view of the swinging burner.

Fig. 1 shows in elevation a vapor-stove of known constructionand'operatioinand wherein A is the oven, and B a lowdown cookingshelt,both being adjusted below the upper table, respectively to the left andright,and at such a distance above the lower shelf,(3,of the frame toadmit of the free swinging of the burner D beneath them. This burner,which forms the subject of my invention, is secured upon the end of ahorizontal swinging arm, E,whieh forms a horizontal bend or continuationof the vertical tube F, which extends between the upper and lowershelves, or nearly so, and turns on a pivot formed above and below inits axial line, the lower pivot being formed by means of a pintle, G,stepped into the lower shelf-and the upper one by a sleeveconnectionbetween the upper end of the tube The latter is rigidly and preferablydetachably supported in position in anysuitable manner, such as by meansof a hanger, I, as shown. This fixed elbow H projects forwardly, andsuch extension extends into proximity to the generating-burner K, andforms the cornminglingtube, into which the jet L discharges the vaporwhen the valve M is opened, such generating-burner K having a suitablevapor- Serial No. 242,!99.

supply chamber, N, for the purpose of supplying the burner D.

O is a handle secured to the vertical pipeF at suitable height for easyoperation.

In practice the parts being constructed and arranged substantially asdescribed, they are intended to operate as follows: By opening the valveM the vaporjet is discharged into the comlninglingtube J, and the gaslhen passes down the pipe F into and through the arm E to the burnerD,where it is ignited in the usual manner. By operating the handle Ollieburner may be swung on its pivots at will, either under the oven orunder the shelf, as shown, while in a midposition it is brought wellforward for ready ignition.

\Vhat- I claim as my invent-ion is- 1. The combiuation,with a low-downoven and cooking-shelfsupported at opposite ends of the stove,ol'aswinging tube pivotally secured on a vertical axis between said oven andshelf and forming the means for carrying vapor from thegenerating-burner to a low-down burner carried by said swinging tube,substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the generatingbnrner, low down oven, andcooking-shelfsupported at opposite ends of the stove, of a lowdownburner carried on a swinging tube between said oven and shelf, andmeans, substantially as described, for conducting the vapor from thegenerating-burner through the swinging tube into saidlow-down burner,all arranged to operate substantially as described.

3. The combination of the generating'burner K, and tube F, having asleeve-joint at its upper end, with the coniniingling-tuhc and apivot-bearing at its lower end, horizontal arm E, burner I), and handle0, all arranged to operate subslai'itinlly as described.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my siguature,in presence of two witnesses,this 17th day of June, 1887.

BURNARD REIN.
